'La Vie en Rose' very moving

Edith Piaf’s tragic life is dramatised in Olivier Dahan’s splendid 'La Vie en Rose' (Icon, €24.99).

'The Little Sparrow' (played here by Marion Cotillard) may have started in the slums of Paris but the singer with the unique voice would conquer the world. Scenes move back and forth across the decades as we follow Piaf’s setbacks, romances and triumphs.
